What phase 1 reaction is mainly performed by the cytochrome P450 enzymes also called mixed-function enzymes?

oxidation reactions are mainly performed by the cytochrome P-450 enzymes.

Explanation:

The main purpose of the phase 1 metabolism is to convert hydrophobic compounds into more reactive or polar groups so that they can be excreted out easily.Here,three reactions takes place:oxidation,reduction and hydrolysis.

Oxidation reaction is the most common reaction of phase 1 and it is typically carried out by cytochrome P-450 enzyme system.

Cytochrome P-450 are located in endoplasmic reticulum in liver tissues. They are member of a superfamily of monoxygenases that catalyze the oxidative metabolism of xenobiotics,the initial step in biotransformation and elimination of wide variety of drugs and other environmental pollutants.

ecological efficiency: % of usable energy transferred as

biomass from one trophic level to the next typical is 10% efficient (90% of

energy is lost),is diagramed as the pyramid of energy flow. then osprey eagle

are tertiary consumer and the shrimp are primary consumer, so to balance

mass of shrimp (1/0.1) / 0.1 = 100 kg
